NSITF Funds Transfer

Bring All Your Retirement Savings Together.

 If you contributed to the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) scheme before 2004, you can transfer those funds to your Parthian Pensions RSA. Let’s make it simple.

Transfer Your Past Contributions for a Stronger Future

A Defined Benefit (DB) Scheme is a traditional type of employer-sponsored pension plan that promises a specific, pre-determined income to employees upon retirement. This income is typically calculated using a formula based on factors like the employee’s salary history, years of service, and age.
Unlike the more common Defined Contribution (DC) schemes (like the Retirement Savings Account – RSA), where the final retirement benefit depends on contributions and investment returns, a DB scheme clearly outlines the benefit an employee will receive.

This page is designed for Employers, Trustees, and Scheme Administrators seeking expert management and support for their existing Defined Benefit Schemes. At Parthian Pensions, we understand the unique responsibilities and complexities involved, and we’re here to provide reliable solutions.

Your Trusted Partner in Defined Benefit Scheme Management

Before the current pension system (established by the Pension Reform Act 2004), you might have contributed to the NSITF scheme. Good news! You can now transfer your accumulated contributions from that scheme into your Retirement Savings Account (RSA) with Parthian Pensions.
